The importance of SITTING on your punches

[@hotwaff]

The cue i was taught: think about yourself like a corkscrew thats turning into the ground. The weight doesnt go forward, it shifts laterally. So for a cross, the weight shifts from the right hip to the left hip, and *down* onto the left hip. On top of not being out of position, you get a few more benefits. First is built in head movement. Your head will follow your shoulders, and your shoulders follow the hips left and down. It also helps get a little extra power into the shot; think of a trebuchet (not to mention youll be better connected to the ground when the punch lands and less power will be lost).

[@musabawad7230]

Yup. Imagine you’re opponent slips you’re cross and throws a right straight themself. You’ll be taking a full right straight unguarded + the momentum of you’re cross. It’ll be a potential 2x multiplier

Also, bout 8 years ago I think you guys did a charity with some items, I never got my fight tips wristband from the charity donation. Not that i care lol but damn woulda been cool having owned that for a while lol. Keep it up man, one of the best.

[@d4rkstr4ng3r564]

I love these tips. Very easy to follow

[@jackmuaddib3745]

That's kind of why we teach to sit on your punches. It's mostly because it's easier to throw all your weight behind a punch if you're sitting than if you're standing straight up, and it increases your range. Otherwise you might reach for your punches which will throw you off balance and make it hard to throw another punch, or defend against a counter punch. So basically you don't want to reach for your punches. You can see the difference by getting in your stance, putting your fist up against a wall and push standing as far from the wall as possible. Then do it again while bending your knees. You arm should bend a litttle because your reach is longer while you're sitting then when you where standing straight up.

[@olliefoxx7165]

Ok. But what does "sit down" mean? When do you sit down? Do you mean keep correct posture? Dont "stand on" your front leg? What does the phrase have to do with the mechanics?

[@fighttips]

Bend your back leg like you're about to sit in on the toilet, but don't lean forward.

Practicing Tai Chi , or at least practicing your movement in a slow Tai Chi like way will really help cement this entire concept . Moving fast can cover up poor weighting and transitioning .

[@Zobokolobozo]

Shadow boxing and light sparring should teach you this. If ur stance or combos doesn't feel good without a target then ur already doing it wrong. You can smash a bag but its better to focus on technique, distance control/timing and ur defence.

[@uvsa2833]

Absolutely! Problem is when you only ever spar hard and never learn to move properly because everything you do is coming from your strength alone. But congrats! You hurt your sparring partners a lot and you get hurt a lot yourself.

[@101Bettis]

Yo!! I figured this out on my own just dicking around on the heavy bag a while back. I was trying to generate as much power as I could, and I "sat down on it" and was amazed at how much force I transferred into the bag doing that. It felt AMAZING. ...Plus I didn't fall over forwards, and just like you said, I was in perfect balance at the beginning of the strike before my hand connected. I could have slipped, initiated some head movement, thrown another punch, anything. It felt like slow motion, like I could see my strike about to connect, and then make a mental decision to follow up. Much better than falling over LOL.

[@jeffpinion6531]

You're a great coach. 👍

[@ulhasanzk2249]

The further feet are a part the more torque and momentum I will have and therefore hit harder especially if I shift all my weight. But as you say is not all about offense, defense is also important

[@charlescourtwright2229]

A lot of power also comes from the legs and hips, the more parts to can get energy from the more power you get

[@Gglov3ls]

100% correct my coach told me leave about 60% of your weight on the back foot and 40 on the front and why wouldn’t you, its where the power shots are so if your struggling with reach make sure that shoulder turns all the way back to add a inch or two on reach n step in if needed

[@jonathanbarahona4859]

The drop in your hips is only a slight drop to get more power. Implosive punching.

[@StraitjacketFitness]

Brilliant!

[@waynewebster3824]

[@MissUltimaThule]

Thank you, this is great advice 🙂

[@Flappymcflapface]

Shifting your weight into your front leg is how you "put your weight into' you punches. Less effort for more effect While what you said is better for fighting in general, weight into your lead leg is better for simple boxing

[@Lynwood_Jackson]

You don't punch with your hands, you punch with your feet. Your body is a potential energy factory, so if you're rotating from your foot to your knee to your hips to your shoulders to your elbow to your hand then your getting a lot more power than if you only threw it from your elbow or your shoulder.

[@somebody3158]

When you drop your center of gravity you can put more power into your punches when you stand taller you have more access to your kicks trade offs to both depends are you more of a kicker or a puncher

you're a sexy beast who makes concepts come to life, I dont plan on fighting but I love the feeling of learning and understanding shit, gimme moar

[@ericdeulen5531]

I like it! Sit down, means kinda just drop your weight a bit, and have good foot stance. I think. ( I'm not an expert, but). That's what it seems to mean

[@ericdeulen5531]

It's talking about correct foot and body Posture, as well as probably using your hips and shoulder rotation to creat the force behind a punch. When I use the heavy bag, also I notice a lot of force when I step forward as I jab ( especially with my left leg/ left jab, off hand), but if I shift my weight right, I actually can throw a pretty forceful blow. And move at the same time.

This shits so difficult. Ive tried to learn some basic combos and spar my friends whw have boxed before. Its like running a marathon of cardio in 10 minutes lol.
